Although the Sharks are the host team, it was probably going to be a longshot for Couture to get included in the festivities.

Entering Friday, Draisaitl is fourth among all Pacific Division skaters with 54 points. Couture is 10th with 42 points, which includes 16 goals. Pavelski is 14th in points among Pacific Division skaters with 38, but is third in goals with 25. Calgary’s Johnny Gaudreau and Edmonton’s Connor McDavid, both already on the team, each have 26 goals.

Couture’s one All-Star Game appearance came in 2012.

The NHL All-Star Skills competition takes place Jan. 25 at 6 p.m. (PT) on NBCSN and the All-Star Game — a 3-on-3 tournament between the four division teams — starts at 5 p.m. on NBC the following day.

The Sharks still have six games left before All-Star weekend. They host Ottawa on Saturday and Pittsburgh on Tuesday before they begin a four game road trip from Jan. 16-22 that goes through Arizona, Tampa Bay, Florida and Washington.

The Sharks entered Friday with 59 points, one point back of Calgary for first place in the division.

Here are the full rosters for each division’s team for All-Star Weekend.
